Hello! I'm a mum of a rooster and a hen, they are both about 6-7 months old now- But this isn't about the rooster!
The hen is a barred Plymouth rock and she has been pooping liquid a lot more often now, is it cause shes about to lay a egg? She hasn't laid a egg before all this behavior, shes...
Hi all,
I got my first ever chicks and one of them has pasty butt. I read on how to move the poop to open the vent again, but it seems when I gently rub with a towel it only temporarily solves the problem.. until she poops again, clogging herself up. How do I get rid of all this excess poo...
Over the last few weeks, I've noticed my chicken's comb turning purple. Some days it's not very noticeable and other days it is. Today it was very purple. What does this mean? I've noticed she has been drinking a lot when I let her out the last couple of days. I'm starting to wonder if maybe...
I recently noticed over the past month that one of my chickens has had a dirty vent and I've been keeping an eye on it and just got a new bag of d.e. today. I noticed that every other day her comb turns purple color. What does this mean? Does it mean she has worms because one of my others...
Hi, I have a run with rubber chip on top of paving slabs
I tried to clean it today by taking out the dirty chips and cleaning them with the garden hose in a bucket. This appears to leave a lot of vegetation around the chips, I assume this comes from their pellets.
Can any one recommend a more...
I dont know how to treat this. It struggle to poo but poo is normal. Checks of vent indicates no pasty but just the swelling which impedes its poop. Any suggestions as to how I can help it?
Going to try Magnesium sulfate soak.
I found two abandoned pea chicks in our yard (a neighbor saw a fox the day before, so we think it got the mama).
I did a crash course on peafowl. We've got them in a 3' x 3' x 12" cage with a clip lamp and 60 watt flood bulb, plus a space heater. We keep them outside. We're in Miami, which...
Hi,
I think my Orpington is poorly. She's had runny poo for about a week now (mainly light brown in colour) and has now started sneezing. She's lost weight and I don't think she's eating much of the layers pellets as her ceop is still feeling quite soft at the end of the day. She's definitely...
So I got some new pigeons recently and I’ve noticed their droppings are small and very dark. When one of them pooed on the wall I noticed that it was a dark green colour.
I am not sure if this is the forum of choice, but with a Roo sick (most likely Marecks), red flags are up with all the hens. My BO - Fergie (a.k.a. Tubby) I believe has gone broody. My DH is a freak over checking her poo. She went from a good size to this green "stuff". Not slimy or...
I have a hen who is always looking a bit off.... She is 34 weeks and never laid an egg. I have noticed her butt area is a bit brown (and she is grey) and i was going to give her a butt bath, so I turned her upside down and took a look to see how gross it was.... and i discovered a scab or crust...
I thought y'all were a little off when talking about trimming chicken butt fluff. Well, I joined you. Had a light red hen that was accumulating quite the poop ball. After a week, it hadn't been shed and I'll blame the cold weather. Finally christened a pair of scissors the poopy butt ball...
One of my pullets just passed some whitish, yellow droppings, almost looks like an egg white with some yolk. She's only about 3 months though, and I don't think she should even be near laying (Wyandotte). So, should I be worried, any ideas? It doesn't look like it's on the spectrum of normal...
Hey all, my 10 month old easter egger is losing a lot of feathers and having a lot of green poo with a lot of unprocessed food coming out. She was laying soft-shell eggs for a little while 2 weeks ago, but now she's completely stopped laying.
We thought it was just the winter season stopping...
Hello,
Our pet turkey was seen by a vet for diarrhea. She had an infection of 2 microorganisms, E. Coli and a vulgaris organism. Also her liver enzymes were high. So the vet prescribed an antibiotic and medicine for her liver.
Her poo is looking more normal now. Frequently it holds its...
I really need some help. My hen is around 15 weeks old now, I got her about 2 weeks ago. She's been very healthy up until around three days ago where she's been standing in the corner all poofed up if that makes sense, she keeps dozing off, barely walks and looks like she's cold but its very...
It's been a while and I tried some research and I still couldn't figure it out!
This morning I found some strange looking mush, it was right next to some fox scat... and then next to THAT WAS canine/feline scat (we have outdoor cats and dogs so I assume that was them).
It flabbergasts me that...
Gotta love tweety, our all access pass hen. She goes everywhere We go. Eats what everyone eats. She can hear a food container 5 miles away!
Only draw back is her massive piles of poo! Big as a small dogs! Hard to miss in more ways than one.
Does anyone else have colossal turds from such a...
Has anyone ever discovered fuzzy chicken poo in the coop? Granted, we have had wet weather here lately but I cleaned out the coop yesterday and today I found this pile of fuzzy poo (picture included).
All four of my hens have poop stuck to them. This is either causing feather loss or the poo is just weighing the feathers down. I can clearly see most of their cloacas because of the feather issues.
They seem healthy and happy otherwise though.
Can anybody help?
